Capitalism, Socialism, & Manufactured Housing

People are entitled to their own beliefs, but not to their own facts. Which should cause the open minded to ask, what are the facts?

Big government has been among the challenges for manufactured housing (MH) for decades. So, this is a topic that matters to everyone who makes an honest living in America, including the professionals and investors working in MHVille.

Among the opponents for the manufactured home community sector, and other parts of the industry as well, is the anti-business group, MH Action. They are often de facto arguing from a socialistic world view. The related report, linked below, can be read later for more depth about that group.

Let’s state that the Daily Business News prefers to use the term ‘free enterprise’ rather than capitalism. Why? Because the term ‘capitalism’ comes from the pages of the co-father of modern socialism, Karl Marx.

That disclaimer noted, manufactured housing professionals that have hired younger workers are likely to have people on staff who have been led to believe that socialism is good, and that capitalism is evil.

Thus the first video by millennial Ben Shaprio – attorney, writer and TV commentator – destroys the appeal of socialism during the first 2 minutes with a simple proposition that every open minded person can understand. The rest of the video are useful additional insights, and related facts or logic. Let’s note that it isn’t just the young that buy into or promote socialism, as Bernie Sanders aptly demonstrates.

Dave Ramsey isn’t a fan of manufactured homes, as the Daily Business News has previously reported. So, he is another example of the importance of selecting the wheat from the chaff, and we all produce both to various degrees.

These two videos are worth sharing with those team members who may have been propagandized into believing something contrary to the decades of evidence that proves that socialism doesn’t works.
